Since I found myself with a little time on my hands I decided to spend this time doing my monthly ranking update.
Alexa Update
Both my main blogs, thirdworldgeek.com and agiledeals.com started the month with a 184K ranking. Earlier last month agiledeals.com made an impressive run, improving its Alexa rank from 300K to 184K. This month, agiledeals.com continued its frenetic pace and has completely and utterly left thirdworldgeek.com in the dust. As of this writing, thirdworldgeek.com’s Alexa rating is 173K or an improvement of 11K since the start of the month. My Philippines Travel Blog however is now at 146K or an awesome 38K increase in ranking. How this happened I have no idea. It’s not like agiledeals.com suddenly had lots of traffic. Oh well.
Google PR Update
Aside from a few of my blogs getting ranked by Google, agiledeals.com again moved up a notch to PR3. That’s another PR higher from May. Really weird why this little blog is moving on up very well. Must be the domain name, I don’t know.
Money Making Effort
Well, I’m still struggling in this area (understatement of the year). In terms of Adsense however, things are looking up. Before it took me really long time to hit $100 but seems like I’ll be hitting the same amount in two months. Not bad actually. My friend ceblogger and I usually have a good laugh over our obsession with Adsense when if we really think about it, it takes us very little time to earn this amount with our jobs. Oh well, apples and oranges.
Area For Improvement
I think where I went wrong this month is my tendency to try and tackle a lot of things all at the same time. I usually just end up feeling overwhelmed and unable to do what I am supposed to do. So for next month, I will do my best to focus on just one thing. Let’s see if that helps.
Until next month! In the meantime, I would love to hear how you guys fared this month. Cheers!

can you share the tips to get up page rank? thanks.
Hi peluang, page rank is all about links, links, and more links. For those links to have more effect, make sure they're related to your site.
Mikko, your alexa rankings are impressive. How do you keep on increasing your traffic?
Thanks. It's flatlined this month though. I have to level-up again. :(
I agree, you have some very impressive Alexa ranks and they just keep increasing. But you said that your traffic hasn't been increasing. So this is an indication that Alexa rank isn't really a good measure of traffic.
Alexa rank is a good measure of traffic, but not exact.
Actually, these days my traffic is increasing, but I have to look at it on a month per month basis. This month I'm looking at around 40-60K pageviews.
It's an impressive ranking for a multiple blogs you are maintaining. Usually, when you maintain 2 or 3 blogs, either only one of them succeed or in the worst scenario, none them succeed. Congrats!
Hi Vic, thanks. Takes a lot of work though and some help. It's exhilirating and frustrating at the same time.
Hi thanks for the information brother
